My dream always has been to be a head football coach. Now I
am and I’m extremely excited and proud to be the coach of the University of
Idaho Vandals.

My career in Division I started at Idaho, and my wife and I
are from Montana so it was an easy decision to return to our roots in the
Northwest and, in particular, to the Vandal Family. When Maya and I were in
Moscow with our family earlier this week, even my 5-year-old daughter remarked
about the friendliness of everyone here. We thank you for your support now and
are looking forward to that support as we go about returning the Vandals to the
feared team I remember being a part of in the 1990s.

What I can promise you is a team with discipline, a team
with passion, and a team that will put points on the board offensively, strike
fear in opposing offenses, and excel at special teams. My staff and I will not
be out-worked by anyone.

I know you share my passion for the Vandals. You can share
in our successes by buying season tickets and donating to the Vandal
Scholarship Fund, both of which are vital in building the foundation for
success on the field and in the classroom for our student-athletes.
